Chen Tao commented on MATH-1524:
--------------------------------
The Cluster.centroid() may only used in Clustering and Evaluator, it can be
package private.
I found if "KMeansPlusPlusClusterer#getNearestCluster" is public(It is a
predict method), the getCenter can be package private, except centers should be
displayed:

> "chooseInitialCenters" should move out from KMeansPlusPlusClusterer

> There are two reason for "chooseInitialCenters" should be move out from
> "KMeansPlusPlusClusterer":
> # k-means++ clusterer is a special case of k-means clusterer, that k-means++
> initialize the cluster centers with k-means++ algorithm. Another case is
> initialize the cluster centers with random points.
> # The mini batch k-means will reuse "chooseInitialCenters".
